Sense of Place: Recreating in a Changing Climate

Community forums on outdoor recreation & public lands in the mount washington valley @ 6:00-7:30 PM

Recreating in a Changing Climate

Time: 6:00pm- 7:30pm

Decades of local weather data show clear trends of declining snowpack, warming winter air temperatures, increases in annual precipitation, and increases in large rain events. How are these current climate trends, which are expected to continue, affecting outdoor recreation and the growing outdoor recreation economy in the Mount Washington Valley? How are trails and trail infrastructure being affected and how are user groups and land managers mitigating the challenges of climate change? Join this forum for a discussion with ecologists, climate scientists, local business owners, and user groups about the local impacts of climate change and what actions we can all take.

Our 2020 Bratwurst Broil and Open-House will take place on Friday, June 12th this year and we are hoping to experience (our usual) very little rain that day. Open House is from 10:00-4:00 but the grills will be going from 11:00-2:00 pm only. There will be door prizes and other giveaways!
